On charges of hampering output at the plant, the company also suspended 27 workers and discontinued the services of 17 trainees.

To resume the operations of the company, the company last week brought in 40 engineers from its Gurgaon plant, but couldn't able to achieve the target.

On an average, the firm produces about 1,200 units of Swift, A-Star and SX4 every day from the plant. On this basis, the production loss suffered by the company so far since last Monday is estimated at about 6,625 units, valued at over Rs 330 crore.
